Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 469 - 345: This City Made Her Grow Up

Subconsciously, Xiao Meng was about to step forward, but a small hand grabbed her clothing...

"Mommy, over here!"

Shuangshuang’s soft and adorable voice caught the attention of the young dad who just finished checking out at the register, and he happened to turn around...

This turn surprised Su Xiaomeng greatly. Although she felt from behind that this was a young man, she didn’t expect him to be so young...

Was it because of his appearance?

His face was fair, his pupils as dark as ink, his lips were thin, yet bright in color.

Thin and tall, wearing a T-shirt and jeans, he looked at most twenty.

Shuangshuang saw her mom still standing there in a daze, and followed her gaze to the tall, thin young man...

Meeting his gaze, Xiao Meng felt strange, but Shuangshuang’s attention was drawn to the baby in young dad’s arms,

"A sister..."

The man’s gaze lightly swept over Su Xiaomeng, then fell blandly on Shuangshuang, and he chuckled,

"Not a sister, it’s a brother."

Su Xiaomeng raised her eyebrow, a trace of self-mockery in her heart: Seeing a child of similar age, you think it’s your Little Treasure, aren’t you silly? Little Treasure is a girl...

Just thinking this, her inquisitive gaze was not concealed, and she subconsciously wanted to take another look at the child’s face.

The young man naturally adjusted the baby’s hat that had slipped off his head.

"Ah woo..."

The child, deeply asleep, uttered a murmur.

Su Xiaomeng felt her heart tighten.

Most children like beautiful things; the young man was delicate and handsome, spoke nicely and gently, quickly winning Shuangshuang’s affection.

She laughed with her eyes in slits, giggled a bit, and then called out again,

"Brother..."

She probably wanted to greet the little brother, but unfortunately, he was sound asleep.

The young man smiled lightly at Su Xiaomeng, nodded slightly as a form of greeting, placed the purchased baby items on his suitcase, secured the baby in his arms, and pushed his luggage out of the store...

Xiao Meng stood there dazed until the young man walked out of her sight, disappearing into the crowds of the airport.

"He probably isn’t the father, might be a brother or something..."

The store clerks were still whispering, discussing the young man with a baby by himself.

"Mommy!"

Shuangshuang was a little unhappy now, put her small hands on her hips, and stared at Su Xiaomeng with big round eyes!

Thinking: What’s so interesting about someone else’s brother? Aren’t we going to buy my toy?

"Alright, alright, my little ancestor... let’s go find toys!"

Xiao Meng said, leading Shuangshuang towards the toy section.

She had never seen Little Treasure. At that time, she was critically ill, and after regaining consciousness, she expressed a desire to meet, but Yin Shixiu opposed it.

When he opposed it, she didn’t insist either, knowing in her heart that if she saw Little Treasure, she’d probably break down.

Little Treasure’s remains were handed over to the hospital for cremation, and the ashes were not kept.

————

Shuangshuang got her favorite toy, and obediently returned with Su Xiaomeng to the waiting area.

"Gou Gou..."

Shuangshuang was a foodie, saw grilled sausages in the convenience store next door, and insisted on having one.

Xiao Meng bought one for her.

Now with puffed cheeks, calling "brother" while walking with little "thump thumps" in her small shoes!

She took the bag from Su Xiaomeng’s hand, placed it on the ground, then squatted down, struggling to take out a toy car and handed it to Huang Huang.

Prince Huang took the car, originally sitting and dozing off, with a face even more blank from waiting too long, touched the car in his hand, and when he looked up, his face was already beaming with joy!

Shuangshuang, seeing her brother happy, also laughed with her eyes in slits.

Then she climbed up next to her brother, using the toy in her hand to rub against his face.

Su Xiaomeng yawned, sat next to Yin Shixiu,

"Truly just a child..."

Yin Shixiu saw the tiredness on her face, reached out to pull her shoulder to lean against his own.

Xiao Meng clasped his hand, murmured,

"Just now in the store, saw a child... a small flower on the brow..."

"..."

Yin Shixiu’s eyebrow twitched, his heart tightened.

"Seeing anyone, feels like seeing our Little Treasure... hey..."

Xiao Meng’s words were tinged with laughter.

Yin Shixiu sensed the emotion behind her words, just assumed Xiao Meng had mistaken, and gently patted her head.

No more words were said.

Soon, a staff member knocked on the door, came in to remind them they could board the flight.

Xiao Meng helped Shuangshuang and Huang Huang pack up the toys, and followed the staff to board the plane.

Although leaving Beijing was temporary, at this moment, Xiao Meng’s state of mind had greatly changed.

This city had given her so much bitterness...

So much sorrow and separation...

At the same time, it had given her so many surprises and joys...

Making her feel gratitude even when she resented it.

During the college entrance exam, coming to Beijing was prompted by Ren Yixuan.

Now, getting into the University of Bath, was urged by the man beside her...

This city seemed to constantly push her to grow...

Time flies, in the blink of an eye, she no longer has excuses to live aimlessly.

On the cloud-covered sky, the plane created a pristine dream world.

She was now going to live and study in a new city, where there would be an unfamiliar language environment, neighbors, and passersby stranger than in Beijing.

Quite a few worries...

But fortunately, she had her husband with her, and fortunately, the children were growing up.

They could walk, run, talk, and laugh...

————

The family arrived in London at 1 PM local time.

Eric came to pick them up.

Upon seeing Eric, Shuangshuang’s eyes widened, head tilted, staring at him motionlessly...

Eric’s nearly 1.9-meter height was imposing, making necks ache from looking up, so he squatted down,

"What’s wrong? Hey, today the two little guys are dressed exactly the same, is this the sister or the brother?"

Shuangshuang seemed to vaguely remember Eric, and reached out to hug Eric’s neck, saying,

"Ride horsey..."

"Hahaha! She remembers me!"

Eric was super delighted, put Shuangshuang on his shoulders, holding her little hand, ecstatic!

Su Xiaomeng followed behind with Prince Huang.

Yin Shixiu and an assistant each pushed a luggage cart.

"I guess you’re Shuangshuang! Am I right?"

Shuangshuang was busy laughing while riding on Eric’s shoulders.

"Sue?"

Eric called out to Xiao Meng!

"Hmm?"

Xiao Meng quickly stepped forward to be alongside Eric.

Eric, smiling,

"Introduce me to a Chinese girl, would you?"

Just those three words "good or not" coming out of a British gentleman made Su Xiaomeng get goosebumps all over.

"Oh? You like Chinese girls?"

"Yeah, someone like you, so adorable!"

"Cough, cough!"

Yin Shixiu cleared his throat lightly.

Eric ignored it and continued joking with Su Xiaomeng. Su Xiaomeng knew Eric meant no harm, and since Eric was so close to Yin Shixiu...

She didn’t overthink it and actually considered if she could introduce a good girl to Eric!

Nice genes, handsome, wealthy, why let the benefits go to outsiders!

Thinking this, Xiao Meng immediately thought of Su Jin!

However, Su Jin was two years younger than herself, so Eric might be a bit too old.

Hmm...

While Xiao Meng was deep in thought, a hasty figure dragging a suitcase suddenly bumped into her!

Yin Shixiu, quick to react, managed to grab her, as an impulsive girl ran into Eric head-on!

Luckily, Eric had put Shuangshuang down, and being strong, felt only a bit of chest pain otherwise.

Fortunately, Su Xiaomeng helped him, because the girl who came crashing in had her suitcase knocked over and fell down herself...

"Ouch..." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

The girl was Chinese...

"You are..."

Su Xiaomeng looked at the girl smiling with her bright teeth showing, trying hard to recognize...

It wasn’t long before Eric saw the girl’s face too, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of familiarity as well...

"Xiao, Xiao, Meng!!?"

"Qin... Hui?"
